I've been doing ok, not much has happened this week other than Zone Conference. We were told to contact Part Member families which is what we are planning to do on Sundays. I guess it was good to meet with the Zone again last week. A lot of missionaries say that being an Assistant to the President would be the most stressful thing to do on a mission. I don't see it that way. The most stressful thing to do on the mission for me, is to keep track of how many miles we use. We are only given 1600 miles a month and I do the best we can to stay under every single month. Unfortunately that doesn't work out every month because of not getting rides from members among other things. Assistants to the President don't have to keep track of miles but they have to do a lot of training's and other work. I'd be fine being called an AP in my last 2-3 transfers.
I forgot that Aiden will now be in 8th grade. Sure doesn't look like he should be...., same thing with Jackson being a Junior in High School. Doesn't even sound right.
That's good that Pierce is back in town, kind of surprised he will be working until January. I thought he would be finished with college by now at least.
Our investigators are doing alright. We had a scheduled baptism for Saturday, but it won't go through because she still needs to take a couple more lessons. We have another two with a Baptismal date on October 6.
We also helped build a Chicken Coop as a gift for another investigator who has chickens. We also have another investigator who wanted to come to church on Sunday but had social anxiety so he didn't come. I am driving right now, just being super cautious on how many miles we spend in a day. Most of the time its around 30 which is good. Elder Christensen is a little different from Elder Twitchell but I don't know in what way, I guess personality.
That's cool that Jackson and Aiden went to the Temple and he baptized him.
Giving someone the gift of the Holy Ghost usually doesn't happen to missionaries but I did that (while serving in Mesa) and I'm waiting to actually baptize someone, but it's not that big of an issue to me. I have not bore a testimony since I've been out. I don't really see the need for it in Sacrament meeting at this point when there are a ton of members in the ward that want to do it. I guess it only happens in lessons but thats about it. Hope you all have a great week and I'll talk to you soon.
Here is a picture of the chicken Coop we built and this bathroom from Sulpher Springs.
